I urge my colleagues to defeat the Kennedy-Wellstone amendment.

I believe the proponents of this amendment and of the underlying concept have greatly oversimplified the issue.

the Senator from Massachusetts is trying to help through an increase in minimum wage, he is hurting by stopping the reform of bankruptcy.

The Senator from Minnesota, the Senator from Illinois, and the Senator from Massachusetts I think are looking at the wrong numbers.
